Professor Liu Lirong, deputy director of the Party History Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the Shaanxi Provincial Cpc Committee, said: "Looking at the text, it is as if the author is sitting across from me, sometimes low and sometimes excited to chat with me, recalling the piles and pieces of his life, seemingly trivial, just restoring the daily life of the dryland countryside in Guanzhong 30 years ago, expressing the experience of many occupations and vicissitudes, but still 'life abuses me thousands of times, I treat life like a first love' of the fiery love of life." ”

Heilongjiang writer Zhang Yaqiu said: "Shi Junrong uses his sincere emotions and profound philosophical thoughts to regurgitate the taste of the original hometown, and also reflects on the changes of the times. Temperature, depth, thickness, essence of the text, thick thoughts, readable and resistant, touching to the deepest. ”

Qin Yan'an, a young writer in Shaanxi, even proposed that the book "The Hometown That Cannot Go Back" Chinese characters, which not only portrays the customs and people's customs and development texture of native China, but also depicts the stoicism, persistence and perseverance of the vast number of villagers, as well as the vigorous and upward spiritual outlook, "The simplicity of life is fully displayed between the lines, let us look at the countryside in the distance, reminisce about the return of the soul, and feel the original, natural and pure beauty of human nature." ”
